Why is it that folks happily use open source software at no cost and  
then
seem to expect that the accouterments of a legal/business/customer  
relationship
must also exist with the authors of the software?

Or is it the other way around?  That the open source folks want all the
*benefits* of a legal/business/customer relationship with their users  
but
don't want to deal with any associated complaints/risks/liabilities?

It is probably a little of both.
